Saylor, Strategy’s executive chairman and co-founder, revealed the approach during an August 2026 episode of The Diary of a CEO. He explained that the company turned to AI after traditional stock sales and convertible debt offered limited capacity, using ChatGPT to help design preferred stock platforms that function as hybrid credit products.
